To know what's the correct material for you it is good to know the difference between a
silk necktie and a
polyester necktie.
Silk
Silk is made from
silk worms and is a natural fiber.
Silk is more breathable than polyester although this is not an important factor when choosing a
men's necktie,
bowtie or
ascot.
Being a natural fiber
silk is more expensive than
polyester thus a
silk necktie will be more expensive than a polyester necktie.
PolyesterPolyester is made from petrochemicals.
Polyester looks like silk except the older types of
polyester are non-iron and the fabric is not breathable so you get very hot and sweaty.
Once again this is not an important factor when choosing a
men's necktie,
bowtie or
ascot.
As
polyester is essentially a plastic man made fiber and it is a lot cheaper than a
silk necktie.
A major plus for polyester is being that it is a man made fiber it absorbs dye's a lot better than
silk. It is for this reason that the majority of
novelty neckties are printed on polyester rather than
silk.
How to tell the difference between Silk and PolyesterFabric technology has advanced so much over the last decade that it is very difficult to tell the difference between a
silk woven necktie and a polyester woven necktie.
There are many ways to test if a
necktie is silk or polyester. The quickest way is to look at the content tab as this will state what fabric the
necktie is made from. Other more technical ways are available and can be found by researching the web.
So to answer the question of which
necktie is best for you a
silk necktie or a
polyester necktie it is up to the individual.
If you are looking for a
necktie that is of a high quality then go for the
silk necktie,
bowtie or
ascot.
If you are looking for a
novelty necktie then the
polyester necktie will look better as the colors will be richer and brighter.
If on a strict budget then you would definitely want to go with a
polyester necktie.
